Bless You...



Hey crazy cats, Just thought I'd get in a couple of thoughts before Christmas. Have you ever had one of those moments in which you witnessed something so embarrassing that you felt bad for the person? You know what I'm talking about, you here the priest fart during mass, you see someone's grandmother picking a wedgie, or you see someone slip and fall. It's really embarrassing for them and double for the person bearing witness to it. However, there are people out there that don't care about themselves and basically could care less if something like that happens to them.
Case in point.... Imagine, if you will, you're in a hospital setting. Your main goal is to make sure patients come in and get themselves registered into the hospital's database, prior to seeing the doctor. A couple walks up to you with identification in tow. As you say good morning to the couple, the gentleman sneezes and a HUGE snot bubble forms in his right nostril. If that isn't bad enough, the left side shoots a mega-ultra-gooey repelling snot line that can serve as a mooring line for the Queen Elizabeth 2! What do you do?!!!
Obviously you saw it! You can't pretend to not have seen it. For crying out loud, the astronauts on the ISS saw it! It literally took half a box of facial tissue to clean up his face. He looked like he just finished clearing the birth canal and still had some afterbirth all over himself. It was that nasty!
I felt so flippin bad and nauseous at the same time. As I curled over into the fetal position and began to rock back and forth, while chanting " it's going to be ok...it's going to be ok...", I realized that this individual didn't care about the avalanche of boogers that had left his nose. he was ok with the fact that gallons of nose bats went flying out of his nose like the opening sequence of "Scooby Doo, Where are You?". What gives?
Have we, as a society, given up on the whole personal pride thing? It really bothers me to walk down the halls of the hospital and see a guy "adjusting himself". It bothers me even more when I see a woman doing the same! Well...maybe she isn't...a....woman.....nevermind! Please people, I ask one thing of you for the new year. Let's tell the people who think it's fine to do these things that it is not! Maybe then we can stop seeing these things and get back to our daily lives of picking our noses in private and hiding the booger under the chair you're sitting in. Take care everyone. Keep safe and dream big!
